It's Not The Same Me Anymore

Chapter 4:What a great way to start the year...

Hermione's POV
The five of us walked into the great Hall and everyone staring at us. Can't blame I did dress up and the five of us did look pretty good together. The sorting began from the first years and it went on. Many people got  into different houses. Now the war did change us. It was now our chance... the seventh years.

"Draco Malfoy" McGonagal called

"Mr. Malfoy. I must say the war has changed you and your heart but you still belong in SLYTHERIN!"
Draco walked to the slytherin table and took his spot without an expression on his face.

"Hermione Granger"

"Aah! Ms. Granger! It has been a while. And you have become quite a mystery to unsolved.  Or should I say a Riddle. The war has greatly affected you and now you belong in SLYTHERIN!"

Has it ever happened to you that something really weird happens to you and everyone is just staring at you and it is really awkward?? That was exactly what I was felling. But not a second or two later the entire slytherin table burst into a roar of applause. I felt a calm relief pass through me. The slytherin had accepted me with open arms. I walked or should I say speed walked towards the slytherin table and took a seat beside Draco.

After all the sorting got over, Professor McGonagal announced that the head girl and boy were me and Draco.  With that professor allowed the feast to begin. And as if right on cue...
"How did the mudblood get into the slytherin house" a familiar voice said. I turned around to look at Ronald looking at me hissing the words to Harry who nodded. Ginny didn't see this. I couldn't figure out my emotions were but I was sure that I was angry shocked and upset about this. I have a Death glare which sent visible shivers down his spine. That when Draco spoke
"Are you okay Granger?"
" yah I am good. Why?"
"Granger your eyes were blood red for a minute when you were glaring over the grifindor table." Nott interrupted.
"Oh okay." I replied not quite into the conversation but then I just realised what they said.
" wait did you just say my eyes turned red??"
They all nodded.
"How is that possible. It couldn't possibly mean anything could it?" We didn't bother ourselves with that as the food appeared in the table.
"Granger, maybe you should not dwell on which dish you're going to eat you should worry of the problem coming at three o'clock ." Blaise said

I immediately turned to my right to find an angry Ron marching towards me with Harry at his heels. I was done with his drama.

I got up and so did the others. I walked casually towards him with a smirk plastered on my face which I knew would annoy him. A lot. As the distance between as grew less I decided to begin the conversation or the most welcomed argument we were going to  have.

 " so what is potty and weasel bee doing where they are not mean to?"

"what are you doing here you filthy mudblood?" Ron snarled.

I was truly shocked. I hated him but there was still seven years of friendship between us. Even Harry did not defend me. I for the first time in my life had nothing to say. My very own friends left me. My face turned white. I stumbled back but Malfoy and Nott helped me up. before I showed any other signs that this had weakened me, I regained my balance spoke to him with all the anger I could come up with at this point. And for some strange reason I had very strong urge to crucio the hell out of the two.

"your not with my while. the boy lived and his sidekick are definitely not worth to argue with considering their very poor IQ levels. I would rather not have a conversation with two lower beings than myself."

With that we took our seats at the table and began eating and joking about as if nothing ever happened. we kind of expected to leave but that didn't happen instead something else all together. Ron came from the back and grabbed my hand and chucked me on the floor. I had a bleeding jaw but I couldn't care less. malfoy and nott were ready with their wands out and parkinson and zabini were ready to tackle the two. funny thought, I never saw parkinson as a fighter but anyway i was glad she was there.

" back of guys this is my mess. stay away from this. And don't even think of interfering in this duel." i said flexing my arms.

" how do you want to go about this. With the wand or without it?" i asked.

" i would rather see you go down the muggle way."

saying that we both dropped our wands and lunged at each other.he was going to get a hold on me but i ducked and grabbed from the back and thrashing him in the ground. he groaned in pain. he turned around and he just lay there as i went closer i picked him up from the collar and got him to stand up on his feet.

"fight like a man Weasley" i said trying to aggravate him.

he got up and lunged at me but with one simple move he was on the floor again. this time he got up on his own and he stood at arms way.

" this is for cheating on me" with that he was punched right at his jaw and he  fell unconscious. i had lost my appetite for food after this scene. i saw potter rushing to Weasley's aid and Ginny looking at me with no expression. i replied with the same face and ran out of the great hall to go to the slytherin dormitories the tears filling me eyes and threatening to fall. with Malfoy Nott Zabini and Parkinson at my heels calling out for me wait....
